Christian Haase (born April 1, 1981 in Leipzig ) is a German songwriter and rock musician .

Life

Christian Haase has been associated with music and theater since childhood, took guitar and acting lessons and wrote his own songs at the age of eleven.

Haase played his first concerts in 1995 with his school band “The Colored Carrots”, which released the EP “Räudig” in 1996 together with the “Bromologic” label. While the guitarist and creative head of the band Jan Masanetz relied on English-language songs, Haase decided, based on his role models Rio Reiser and Selig, for his own compositions with German texts. In 1998 Haase's first band broke up.

In 1999 the EP “HoffnungsLos” and the bootleg CD “Payday” came into circulation under the brand “ haase & band ”. Haase earned his audience with solo concerts and appearances with a band. The first official studio production was released in 2002: the EP "feen & wölfe". This was followed by concert tours through Hungary and Russia, as well as smaller and larger gigs in Germany.

Haase discovered cabaret with the chanson program “Fake Women” (piano: Enrico Wirth). A profession that shaped him.

In December 2004, “ haase & band ” released their first album “Stay”, which catapulted the song poet into the “top league of German songwriters” (Leipziger Volkszeitung). In 2006, the music magazine Melodie und Rhythmus proposed the second long player "twelve and a half" as album of the year. Haase spent the summer at Ziesar Castle and played a leading role in the lavish theater production "Wildwasser", which was celebrated by the public and critics.

In 2009 the solo album “nimmersatt”, on which Haase recorded all the instruments himself, was nominated for the “quarterly award of the German record critics”. Together with the director Stephan Koch, Haase brought the play “Faust - what a tragedy” to the stage and played a role in the touring theater “Albrecht the Bear”. In 2010, the native of Leipzig relocated to Berlin. He met the guitarist and producer René Schostak . Their jointly developed album "die better Zeiten" was released in 2011 under the name " haase & band " by the record company SPV . For the first time, the songs were also played on national radio. Two years later Christian Haase released the album “Alles was gut ist” again with SPV under his name, which fell short of expectations.

Film director Johannes Grieser discovered Haase's song “if you love”, which in the newly recorded version “if you love (knight)” in 2014 in the television film “Forever a Murderer - The Knight Case” formed a dramaturgical basis.

Haase founded his own label in 2015 with the affiliated music publisher hTMV (Haase.Tonträger.Musik.Verlag) and released his most successful album to date: "Album No. 6". In March 2016, his seventh studio album, “Dream but of flowers” ​​was released. After 9 years and four albums, Christian Haase and his guitarist and previous producer René Schostak parted ways in April 2018. For the production of “Die Correction”, an album that was released in May 2018, Haase went partly with other musicians Studio and recorded the eleven songs in just two days. The corresponding corrective tour took Haase & Band in a four-man line-up through 11 cities in Germany. With Robert Memmler on drums, Daniel Dexter on piano and Tanja-Maria Hirschmüller on saxophone and clarinet.

Christian Haase has been singing in the band “ Die Seilschaft ” since 2010 as the successor to the late songwriter Gerhard Gundermann and lives alternately with his wife and child in Berlin and Sicily.
